Exiled To A Pompous LandWed, 30 Jun 2010 14:17:56 +0000http://hootingyard.org/?p=4664#comment-9553I'm from Pudsey originally best known for giving a name to that blasted bear the BBC drag out every year (assuming that they do).
Apparently it was Mr Carter who was responsible for those occassional showers of wippets that fell from a clear sky when we lived at Low Moor.
And just to add, I'm out of exile for the moment, coming to you live from Dublin. Any readers over here I heartily recommend The Sweeney Mongrel (32 Dame Street) where I sit at this moment drinking a second fine pint after a very good lunch.I’m from Pudsey originally best known for giving a name to that blasted bear the BBC drag out every year (assuming that they do).

Also a wippet's throw from here.Mr Parker has somehow omitted the delightful hamlet of Slack Bottom from his list. Also a wippet’s throw from here.

If you take the A65 from Skipton heading for Long Preston somewhere around Hellifield you will see a road sign for the villages of Nappa and Gisburn.
I always thought Nappa Gisburn would be a good alias to use in a tight spot.
Or maybe he was a nippy winger (with a rakish comb over) for Bradford Park Avenue back in the day.
He probably knew Bobnit Tivol.

I'm surprised Killinghall, Hampsthwaite, Burnt Yates or Kettlesing Bottom/Top weren't on the list.
Just don't get me started on Bull Dyke Wham.
